Donald Trump began his second, non-consecutive term on January 20, 2025.
His administration swiftly implemented executive orders dismantling diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, rescinding protections for transgender individuals, and consolidating federal authority. Trump has invoked emergency powers at an unprecedented scale—over 20% of his executive orders—to impose tariffs and rollback environmental regulations, raising concerns over executive overreach. He fired a Federal Reserve governor, threatening central bank independence, and expanded immigration enforcement, including new detention facilities. Concurrently, aggressive trade measures, military deployments, and “law-and-order” policies have intensified political polarization and institutional friction.
